If you download Ms. Pac-Man or one of the other Pac-Man titles featured in the Ms. Pac-Man Pink Ribbon campaign throughout October, you can help Bandai Namco Games America raise money for the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
Bandai Namco Games America and the NBCF are on a mission to fight the second leading cause of cancer deaths among women in the US, and raise money in order to provide further help to those affected by breast cancer via early detection, education, and other helpful support services.
“Awareness and early diagnosis are critical in the fight against breast cancer,” said James Kucera, Bandai Namco’s head of mobile. “We are proud to lend our voice t…

Whether it’s your cup of tea or not, you’ve probably noticed how incredibly popular online gambling has become over the past few years.
Thanks to the personal computer and devices like the iPhone, you no longer have to visit your local casino to scratch your gambling itch. You can play slots in the comfort of your own home, and take a spin on the roulette while sitting on the bus.
With so many sites and games to choose from, though, it’s almost impossible to know where to invest your time and - most importantly - your money. Thankfully, that’s were Grizzly Gambling comes in.
It’s a Canadian online gambling portal and it provides a detailed list of some of t…

When some games are brought over to a new continent they can risk getting lost in translation - whereas some are so refreshingly unusual and off kilter they become an unexpected smash hit.
Developer Ponos is hoping its latest title, The Battle Cats, falls into the latter category. The game already boasts 10 million downloads in Japan and two million downloads in the first month of its release in Korea, but is now finally available in the US, the UK, and other English-speaking countries.
From its title you might imagine The Battle Cats might be a little more than just a standard pet sim, and you’d be right. Instead it’s an action title where you control a feline army and take on…

Galaxy Legend is a space-based role-playing title from Tap4Fun - the developer responsible for King’s Empire.
It’s set in the year 2841 and it follows humanity as it begins to expand to the furthest stars in the universe.
In Galaxy Legend, you take on the role of the commander of a galactic outpost vying for power in a dangerous galaxy, and attempt to survive the relentless attacks of space pirates, aliens, and opposing outposts that would all revel in your failure.
Galaxy Legend is a strategic RPG. You can create a fleet from a variety of units, and use different tactics to get one over on your opponents. If you like to customise your fleet to your unique play style, you…

Angels In The Sky, a stunning-looking Unreal Engine 4-powered strategic shooter, was released onto the App Store by developer AimToG late last month.
This action-packed title thrusts you into the role of a fighter pilot, and tasks you with taking out wave after wave of alien ships that won’t hesitate to take you down at a moment’s notice. These ships can move at blistering speeds, so you’re forced to think on your feet at all times.
You wouldn’t be much of a fighter pilot if you didn’t have access to weaponry, which is why your craft can be equipped with up to two of the game’s many firearms (which include a weapon that’s capable of destroying your…

Rise of Rome, an historic simulation game that allows you to become the leader of one of three factions (Julius Caesar, Scipio Africanus, Marcus Junius Brutus), is now available to download from the App Store and Google Play for free.
Your aim in Rise of Rome is to build a successful and prosperous empire, and then defend it from attacks from rival factions. As you defeat opponents and progress through the game, you’ll earn resources, which are useful for developing both your army and your city.
Thankfully, there are plenty of opportunities to customise your armed forces. You can choose from over 72 different classes of soldier, for example, including eleph…

Today is a special day for soccer fans.
Whether you're a lover of The Beautiful Game or not, you'll most likely be aware that today is the day that 32 teams from around the globe begin their quest for glory in the month-long tournament that is known as the FIFA World Cup.
From today, teams representing England, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Nigeria, and the US (among other countries) will go toe-to-toe in Brazil in the hope of returning home with that infamous 18-carat gold trophy that was originally named Victory.
If you are a football fan, there are plenty of opportunities to get involved.
Sure, you can't really jump on your country's team bus and join them in the competition, but you can…

Have you ever picked up a guitar and wished you were able to thrash out iconic songs from some of the world's most influential bands?
Do you wish you could play that catchy riff that you can't get out of your head?
If you answered "yes" to either of the above questions, you'll be very interested in CoachGuitar. You see, this is an iPhone and iPad app that will teach you how to play the likes of 'Back in Black', 'Yesterday', and 'Hotel California'.
Keeping tabs
Unlike a lot of coaching apps, CoachGuitar doesn't just focus on guitar tabs. Instead, the app utilises videos; an animated fretboard; and coloured dots that represent your fingers and their placement during songs.
These dots also…

If you enjoy games filled with guns, turf wars, and plenty of opportunities to fill unscrupulous baddies full of hot lead, you may like Happylatte's Days of Crime.
Days of Crime is a skill-based Player vs Player (PvP) combat-filled action title inspired by the 1979 movie The Warriors. In it, you’re pitted against hundreds of other gun-toting wannabe gangsters from around the globe and a range of NPC bosses.
Following a 5-year stint behind bars for an undisclosed crime, you return to your hometown with the sole aim of taking back the streets on which you were raised. You do this with a gun and a range of other deadly items.
Every time you take on a thug in Days of Crime, you’…

You’d be forgiven for thinking that a game called Flirty Birdys was a shameless rip-off designed to cash-in on the popularity of Angry Birds or Flappy Bird or one of the other avian-stuffed titles on the App Store.
You couldn’t be more wrong, though.
Flirty Birdys is, in fact, a quirky and colourful tower defence title in which you take on the role of a digital matchmaker. Basically, your aim is to manipulate male birds into falling in love with their female counterparts.
In each level of the game, you have to - much like in any other tower defence title - strategically place towers (female birds, in this case) along a winding park pathway in order to successfully distract the…

Apple may have originally designed its iPhone to be a mobile communication device, but - thanks to the App Store - it’s now a multifunctional gadget that you can use as a TV remote, a fitness tracker, and even an alarm clock.
The iPhone comes with a pre-installed app called Clock, which features a pretty basic alarm clock that will wake you up in the morning. Nothing more, nothing less.
If you’re looking for an alarm clock app with a few more features, however, you’ll need to visit Apple’s digital app emporium and download something like Lemondo Entertainment’s Wakeapp !, which is available for £1.49 / $1.99.
Wakeapp ! has been designed from the groun…

Back in September 2013, developer Wyse Games released an action-packed endless-running title called Blaze&Graze.
Blaze&Graze is a game all about retribution. Nefarious baddies have carried off your wooly relatives, you see, and it's your job to send them packing using the destructive powers you’ve obtained from the Great Sheeplord.
Unlike in a lot of endless-running titles, you're not encouraged in Blaze&Graze to slide or jump in order to avoid the many enemies that you encounter as you play. In fact, you’re encouraged to fill any obstacles that are unfortunate enough to cross your path full of hot lead.
Blaze&Graze was inspired by classic NES shoot-'em-ups and…

Back in March 2013, developer Goodgame Studios launched an action-packed strategy title named Empire: Four Kingdoms.
Fire up Empire: Four Kingdoms, and you're thrust into a dangerous fantasy world that plays home to millions of real-world players from around the globe.
Your aim in this massively multiplayer strategy title, then, is to craft your very own empire from the ground up. How? By establishing a flourishing economy and, in turn, improving various aspects of your kingdom.
Naturally, as you continue to thrive, you'll attract unwanted attention from other players, who'll send out large armies to attempt to halt your advances.
This means you'll have to construct defensive fortresses;…

If you're a massive fan of strategy titles and you download tower defence games from the App Store on a regular basis, there's a very good chance that you're already more than familiar with the Toy Defense series.
More than 15 million gamers from around the world have played at least one of the franchise's instalments, after all.
Anyway. Melesta Games have recently released a third entry in the popular series, and it represents a slight deviation from its two predecessors.
Unlike Toy Defense and Toy Defense 2, which feature battles from World War I and World War II, respectively, Toy Defense 3: Fantasy is set in a magical 10th-century fantasy kingdom that's filled to the brim with pesky…
